People Urged
to Have Hobby
in Spare Time
Shorter Working Honrs Waster, Says
Speaker, Unless Time Utilized
to a Gocd Advantage.
Chicago, April 21. Unless work-
inn- neonle are nrrna red for construe-
tive use of leisure, shorter working
hours will be more detrimental than
hard work, it was brought out at a
district conference of the National
Recreation association here yester
day.
"So many people seem to think
shorter hours are to release people
from labor as though work were
something unpleasant and this takes
away some of its dignity," Miss Doro
thy C. Enderis, head of the Municipal
Recreation department, of Milwaukee,
Wis., said. "We should shorten work
ing hours, not to release people 'from'
labor, but to release them 'for' great
er opportunity to grow mentally and
culturally. If not, leisure can become
detriment rather than a blessing."
The formation of hobbies, avoca
tions, varied interests, must be the
chief aim of recreational workers,
Miss Enderis told the conference. "If
we do no more than help people
amuse themselves temporarily, we are
nothing more than high-class amuse
ment men.
"The more varied the hobbies peo
ple have," she added, "the richer and
fuller their lives. Of course, some
people might object to this attitude
oa the ground that it manes people
dabblers, but I say that out of the
dabbler grows the amateur, and out
of the amateur the connoisseur."
The result of such interests da not
end with the individual, Miss Enderis
said, hut heln to imnrove community
life, furnishing material for orches-
tras, drama groups, art centers, and
so on:
The dangers of mine to an excess
of economy In cutting recreation
budgets in response to the demand
for cheaner aovernment were stress-
ed by Mr. V. K. Brown, in charge of
a.,. i tVi. cnntti
n il vi
rl J VUlldgU. I
"Retrench where necessary, but
den't abolish $,tiihd activities
,wo it i at .it tn rnnnerve
what has thus far been accomplish
ed," was Mr. Brown's advice.
The South Park system, he said,
has maintained good will throughout
its various departments by prorating
the budget cut so that all departments
are proportionately affected, and rec
reation should not be made to suffer
more than any other activity.
In these times, he said, recreation
is facing bigger demands, and its ef
fects are more far-reaching. Much of
the recreational work In the South
Parks, he said, is helping to develop
craftsmanship In the young people
'no take part and aU of this wSU pay
tr itself in years to come
Our aim of the work is to develop
adaptability and resourcefulness, he
a,,de1' aml t1ie I,eople who have these
qualities are those who are hurt least
by present economic conditions.
Reserve Board
is Said to Hold
Prosperity Key
Can. It is Said, Add $3,000,000,000
in Gold to Currency Favor
the O'Neal Credit Plan
Washington, April 22. Noted
economists were summoned before a
subcommittee of the House Banking
and Currency committee today to give
their opinion on proposals to make
available the vast untouched cur
rency resources of the Federal Re
serve System as a means of speeding
up the sluggish circulation of money
in the countrj'.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale will be
asked to outline to the group his plan
for a stabilized dollar to be achieved
hy pegging the monetary unit of value
to average commodity price levels in
stead of to gold.
Today's hearing marked the begin
ning of the second week of the com
mittee s investigation into the pos
sibility of requiring the Federal Re
serve Board, by law, to establish and
maintain a stabilized dollar.
It follows a week during which
representatives of farm organizations
urged the Government to increase the
value of their products by methods
varying from deliberate inflation by
use of printing presses to careful
schemes for pegging the dollar to the
averatre commodity level in some-
what the same fashion advocated by
Professor Fisher.
Stress O'Neal Plan
They laid particular stress on the
plan proposed by Mr. Edward A.
O'Neal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, for a gov
ernment regulated increase of 40 per
cent in the commodity price level.
He said the monetary system of the
United States is at present unsuffici-
ent for agriculture and that enough
more must be put in circulation to
hv'Kg back the 1920 tc I!29 average
price level.
An obligation on the Federal Re
serve Board to bring about such a
stabilized price level is the object of
a bill before the committee, sponsored
by Representative T. Alan Golds
borough (democrat), of Maryland. If
adopted by congress the bill would
supplement the c-mergency credit pro-
visions of the Glass-Steagall bill and
would require the board to use these
increased powers, not only to re
lieve, monetarily, a monetary short
age, but to maintain a stabilized dol
lar.
The bill is based on the premise
that present business conditions and
the high value of money both result
from a shortage of circulating me
dium of exchange. Mr. Goldsborough
holds that the economic stress could
he released and business returned to
normally prosperous conditions with
in two months if the Federal lie
serve Board would make the neces
sary currency available.
Says Currency Well Backed
It has the power today to issue
$9,750,000,000 additional currency.
he hold.3. Vaults cf the Federal Re
serve System today contain $1,400,-
000,000 of free gold, i. e. gold which
is not being held as a basis for cur-
tncy, he says. They also hold $1,-
000,000,000 of gold which is being
held as a reserve against deposits.
tut which can be released by a reso-
luimn oi me oeara.
This, he points out, makes $3,000,-
000,000 of actual gold available as
the basis of currency in the form of
Federal Reserve notes. In addition,
he points cut, there is $900,000,000
in vld certificates current, which the
board could call In. These certificates,
he says, could be xised by the Federal
Rsserve System as free gold to back
tho issue of currency.
Thus, Mr. Goldsborough says, the
board has at its disposal a total of
$3,900,000,000 which it is not at
present using. Since It can by law

Nebraska
D. A. R. Reports
on Activities
Mrs. E. H. Wescott, State Regent,
Tells of the Woik of the So
ciety in State.
"The story of tho ' work of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion in Nebraska is ono worthy of
the founders of the Republic and of
the early pioneers of the state," de
clared Mrs. Edgar Hilt Wescott,
state regent of the Nebraska Daugh
ters, in her report given at the con
tinental congrejss at Washington last
week. "In spite of bank failures,
drought. and grasshoppers, the
Daughters have carried on with
courage and with faith. They have
given to the hungry until it hurt.
They have spent unrecorded hours
of labor in behalf of the needy, and
have been the messengers of mercy,
love, and peace. There could be no
finer patriotic service than this.
"However, the recorded activities
reveal that much has been accom
plisehd by Nebraska chapters in
carrying through in a very definite
way the work as outlined by the na
tional society. Nebraska's wild flow
ers are being preserved. Several his
torical trees are being nurtured.
Hundreds of tree3 have been plant
ed by individual Daughters, honor
ing George Washington. Some of
the trees have been marked. One
tree honoring our president general
was planted in a park at North
Platte, during the state conference.
"That Nebraska Daughters use the
'Better ilms' material is evident; en
tire communities are benefited. Many
chapters use the 'Flag Trailers,' orig
inated by our own Mrs. Frank G.
Baker, of Omaha.
"Many chapters administer a stu
dent loan fund. Kitkimaki chapter,
of Superior, leads with $710.. There
funds are growing. The state also
has a loan fund, of which Mrs. Jacob
North of Lincoln is state chairman,
New regulations governing this were
adopted at the state conference
"If 'genealogy reveals history,
then much ancient history has been
revealed and preserved. Somo has
been printed by the Midwest Genea
logical Magazine. Tho location of
the burial place of each Revolution
ary ancestor was requested by the
state regent, this information to be
filed with the state registrar. Katah-
din chapter, at Scottsbluff. has start
ed a Pioneers' Memory Scrap Book
They also care for the grave of Re
becca Winters, a real Daughter, who
died August 15, 1S52, while jour
neying with a group of Mormons on
their way to Salt Lake City. Her
father was Gideon Burdiek, who en
listed when a youth of eighteen years.
in the Revolutionary army, in the
second regiment of the New York
line, and was given honorable dis
charge January 1, 17S8.
"The aim of the chairman of the
committee on Manuals for Immi
grants, Mrs. Donald Allen, of Om-
asa, has been that each new citizen
receive one of these manuals. Om
aha chapter alone has distributed
1377 of those manuals, and other
chapters have used them to good ad
vantage in schools and in commun
ities or foreigners, fcvery chapter
near county seats has representatives
at naturalization ceremonies.
"Many historical spots and trails
are being marked, locations already
preserved are being landscaped.
tjuivera chapter, at Fairbury, is the
custodian of a ten-acre park dedi-Kjr.
cated to Fremont and Carson. De-
borah Avery chapter, at Lincoln, Ne
braska's mother chapter, leads in
marking the graves of members of
the 1). A. R. Mrs. H. B. Marshall,
our retiring state treasurer, origin
ated a marker which has been adopt
ed as Nebraska's official marker, and
v. - hich is used extensively.
"At the call of the state regent.
almost every chapter contributed to
relief work of citizens in the drought-
stricken region. Much money has
been given, to local relief of unem
ployment. As one regent stated.
'You can't - Americanize a hungry
man!' Many chapters have framed
documents to be hung in schools and
libraries. A beautifully hand-ilium
ir.ated Washington's 'Prayer of the
Wilderness has been framed by Ma
Jor Isaac Sadler chapter, of Omaha,
and presented to the Joslyn Mentor
lal. This chapter pays particular at
tention to correct display of the
flag, and presents the flag manual to
all eighth grade teachers in the Om
aha schools.
"The Lue R. Spencer circulating
norary, comprising" nine ooxes ui
rare genealogical dooks. vaiuea v
$2,000. has been a real service to
those interested in genealogy. Mrs.

sented to this library by Mrs. Dwight
Dalbey, of Beatrice.
"A sun-room at the Veterans' hos
pital in Lincoln has been furnished
with appropriate furniture, and its
dedication on Nov. 17, 1931, was
under the direction of Mrs. H. B.
Marshall, chairman of the commit
tee. This committee also provides
Christmas tree and treat each year
for men on this floor of the hos
pital. "The Western Divisional meeting,
held in Omaha last September, the
seven ' district meetings held during
the autumn, and the state confer
ence held in North Platte in March,
all have helped to forward the work
of our organization. We are proud
to have four divisional eahirmen in

chapters, in every state and terri

of the homeland, among 170,000
members, tin? society flourishes; and
it is not merely a lip-service that
